It seriously should be against the law that Paul Carrack has not gotten more attention from people. His voice is absolutely amazing
BBC on Carrack-“The man with the golden voice”. I totally concur.
I am a singer and I am studying Carrack, his approach, his songs. A Brit with a soulful voice, self taught, and I am in awe. He closes his eyes and he has an inner tension in his phrases like a jazz trumpet, very complicated vocal riffs, a lot of variation in his tone and texture (this is why he is so interesting to listen to), especially in, IN THE LIVING YEARS, I bow at his altar.
Actually, the song isn’t about a woman cheating. Paul Carrack wrote it when he found out the bass player, Terry “Tex” Comer, had secretly been playing with another band.
I heard it was that the band found out that their manager had been embezzling from them.
Facts!
@genorp You are CORRECT.
genorp, you are correct. I actually just learned that fact myself only a year ago, or so, and was surprised by the actual meaning of the song.
doesn't matter what it's about, it's music, it's whatever it is to the listener.
Paul Carrack is the Lead Singer, he is been around in a few groups. Great voice!! He is lead singer on Tempted by Squeeze and The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics.
Love mike and the mechanics
“Living Years”.... 💯😢
I had no idea this was the same singer as Mike & the Mechanics. Cool!
The Living Years by Mike and The Mechanics and Temped by Squeeze. Check them out. You won’t regret it.
Also, Silent Running Mike & the Mechanics
Anything by the band AMBROSIA! Talk about killer harmonies....you will LOVE David Pack's voice...BET!
Yeah... I especially like "Holding on to Yesterday"
Check out David Pack's (Ambrosia's lead singer) "Just Can't Let Go" backed up by James Ingram and the great Michael McDonald!! Fantastic!!! Love y'all!! We live about 20 miles from the Red River in Bowie Texas!
I concur. Great suggestion.
Definitely. I can’t believe you haven’t done Ambrosia yet. Biggest Part Of Me is the most popular.
1974 was a great year for music and this proves it this feels good.
The singer’s name is Paul Carrack. I once read in an interview he stated he’d written “How Long” and it was about his bass player playing in another band while still playing with Ace. He was also a member of the band Mike and the mechanics.
IIRC the other band was Quiver. Who I heard originally as The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver on their album. BTW, the guitarist on at least some of their albums (Quiver) is Tim Renwick, the guy in the Pink Floyd Pulse videos in front of the singers.
Honestly, I thought it was his drummer who had been playing for another band.
Paul Carrack is a legend. Every band he sings in is phenomenal.
70's easy listening music. I heard this so much on the radio as a kid.
I know right?
Me too.
Could not remember it until it started playing and I immediately started singing along !😎
My parents listened to 70s music in the 90s and I heard this all the time as well lol
Yep
Paul Carrack was in the touring band headlined by Eric Clapton in 2014 (This song came out in 1975). Eric introduces him and they breakout into "How Long". Serious respect from Slowhand.
Carrack is often dubbed as the "Man with the Golden Voice" as he has contributed to bands such as Ace, Roxy Music, Mike + the Mechanics, Nick Lowe, Carlene Carter, Roger Waters, Squeeze, Paul Young and a lot more. This guy is gold.
I saw Paul Carrack play in Roger Waters band, 1988 or 89, in Atlanta, GA.
Never knew that. Thx
Some of the best bands clearly valued that voice
This song came out in 1974, The Bee Gees had a Different sound in 1974, The Bee Gees Didn't have the Disco sound until around 1976 or 1977 That's when Disco Skyrocketed.
One of the most underrated British vocalists, Paul Carrack. As stated below, Paul has contributed to many different projects that have had some charting singles where he did lead vocals. Nice groove on Ace's one hit wonder How Long (idk!).
I ABSOLUTELY ENTIRELY AGREE.
anybody's top 20 will have a Paul Carrack track in it.
My personal favourite
IN THE LIVING YEARS.
@@tompickles9798 yeah, that's a great song Tom. I'd hafta say it would be a toss up between that one and Tempted
Beautiful great voice 😅
I’m telling you guys, “How Much I Feel” by Ambrosia… I know I’ve said it a lot in these comments, but it’s SUCH a great song, and you guys will love the twist in the lyrics.
Seconded, that song is amazing. My mom used to listen to that band on repeat when I was a little kid.
Great choice!
Totally agree! Knowing how much Jordan and Amber appreciate good harmonies, they will absolutely DIG "How Much I Feel."
Only if you want to cry😭
Yeeasssssssssss
As everyone has said, Paul Carrack is one of the finest vocalists in rock music. He can sing it all. He's had so many hits with so many other artists over the year. Just a great musician.
Ace - How Long
Squeeze - Tempted
Mike & The Mechanics - The Living Years
Mike & The Mechanics - Silent Running
Mike & The Mechanics - Over my Shoulder
Paul Carrack - When You Walk in the Room
Paul Carrack - Eyes of Blue
Paul Carrack - Dedicated
“How Long” is often the closing song in Paul Carrack’s concerts. Last 10 years he often played in the Netherlands with his band.
Quite an impressive resume.
Yes!!!!!💚💚💚
Great Paul carrack list
Yes! Hit some more of these. You'll thank yourselves 😀
And anything from his Suburban Voodoo album. I wore out the album in college and had to replace it. "I Need You" might be a good song to check out because it's classic smooooooth Paul Carrack. So Right, So Wrong is great, too.
I'm 61 so I know the song well. An awesome song way back in '74 and still just as good in 2022!
It is one of my favorites due to the beautiful harmonies. Can't get enough of it.
Definitely one of my favourite songs from the seventies!
You Should check out these classics as well:
"Please Come To Boston" - Dave Loggins
"Reminiscing" - Little River Band
"Cool Night" - Paul Davis
"Steppin' Out" - Joe Jackson
Great group of songs!
Don't forget "Catalina Breeze" by The Blue Jean Committee
Please! Do Cool Night! One of my all time favorite songs
Those are some great selections!
1974 release date
"How Long" by Ace reached #3 in April of 1975. The Bee Gees began their run of "disco" hits two months later with "Jive Talkin'" which hit #1 in late June which started their comeback after not charting a hit since 1972.
Since that was Ace's only hit, here are three other one-hit wonders from the 70's to consider:
"Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation
"Magic" by Pilot
"Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse
Pilot weren’t a one hit wonder in the Uk. In fact their hit January reached No1 whereas Magic reached No 5 in our hit parade.
Oh man, I hate that song Rock the Boat for the simple reason that on the rare occasions we could listen to the radio in boot camp, this song was always playing!
Where'd you get the notion to request Rock the Boat???
I would trade "Rock the Boat" for Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest
@@NobodySpecial512 They've already done that song.
If you guys haven't checked out "Hello It's Me" by Todd Rundgren, you're doing yourselves a disservice. It's in the same vein as this song. Also, that sound on the guitar was most likely due to the use of an effect pedal, probably some kind of flanger or chorus effect.
Great song! Also check out:
1. I Saw the Light
2. Can We Still Be Friends
3. Bang the Drum
America “Ventrura Highway” please give this 70’s folk rock band a try 🙏🏼
or Horse with No name?
or Sister Golden Hair
Paul Carrack is a treasure - he co-sings lead on Tempted by Squeeze, sang co-lead in Mike & the Mechanics (that's him on In the Living Years which I think you reviewed already), had a major solo hit with Don't Shed a Tear, and also was in Roxy Music for a time - super talented vocalist who doesn't get enough credit - so glad you appreciate him!
Paul’s had another solo hit with Live By The Groove. With the Mechanics there’s also Silent Running and Taken In.
@@MechaJoezilla Paul Young sang Taken In.
Another solo track and beautiful ballad by Paul Carrack is called “Eyes Of Blue”
Elvin Bishop - Fooled Around and Fell in Love - live on Midnight Special
I'm so glad younger generations are learning how much incredible music their "goofy old parents" had in THEIR day! 🎵 "Nana, nana boo boo, we had more than you do"! 🎶 🤣
Yep.... 😂
I think I was 18 or so when this came out, now I just turned 72, time flies when your having fun!
One of my all time favorites luv this we had the great music ❤
Wish u guys would give the group “Bread” a try. Beautiful harmonies and vocals. Thank you peace ✌️
Has to be If - fantastic song
Ya😎
David Gates had the most beautiful voice
Paul is still around doing his thing, but sadly never seems to come or the US. Met him in KC in 82 when he was touring with Nick Lowe. Besides Tempted and the M and the M stuff, he has put out some awesome solo stuff.
This was technically pre-Disco, therefore not likely to be influenced by the Bee Gees. Good song! Love your reactions!
Bee Gees started in the 60s -pre disco also
Disco started in the early 7os
@@11dsw Around 1971,but popularized in 1974.
I saw this song performed live in the summer of 1975 when this band opened for Yes in Nashville Tennessee.
Carrack’s voice, the harmonies, and that bass line. Spectacular song.
Paul Carrack on vocals. He also sang lead for Squeeze and Mike & the Mechanics.
Check out "So into You" by Atlanta rhythm section. Another smooth jam like this one.
This is 1974…before disco. It’s definitely before the Bee Gee’s became popular.
I have always loved this song, but I couldn’t have told you the band if my life depended on it. From reading the comments I see this is a one hit wonder. Makes sense to me. But, still love it. There are so many groups that could have influenced this sound, possibly Chicago, Bread, Three Dog Night, etc., but also Motown. This type of sound was very popular pre- disco.
My guess is, the guitar is through a Leslie cabinet, normally used with a Hammond organ. The speakers inside the cab rotate and the rate of rotation can be increased or decreased with a switch. Eventually guitarists moved to Chorus pedals as Leslie cabs were bulky and heavy. Jan Akkerman of Focus used them extensively.
I don't know enough about super old school amps, to me you could also achieve the same sound with a flanger effect pedal, maybe some phaser chucked in as well, but as you mention, rotating speakers would create a similar effect.
There lots of pedals these days that emulate a Leslie pretty well. Chorus never really quite did the job. Cheaper and handier than dragging a Leslie around though.
@ Peter. Old school is right Peter. The first time I heard a guitar through a Leslie cab was (ironically) Leslie West, Nantucket Sleighride. 1971. The Boss company were still Roland then.
Singer Paul Carrick later became the singer for Mike and the Mechanics.
He has a great voice! Loved his leads on "The Living Years".
@@ancilssonsiler4246 And they reacted to that song! The circle of music!
THATS WHERE I KNOW THAT GUY FROM!!! Thanks Amigo.
Another brilliant choice from my youth. One of my all time favourite tracks. This the first song on so many of my playlists. Hearing this is always like meeting up with an old friend who you hold very dear in your heart. The lead singer is Paul Carrack who is massively loved and respected especially here in the UK. Be the other way round about the Bee Gees influencing them, they would have influenced the Bee Gees. It's not about a cheating woman but about their bass player playing in secret with another band.
Perhaps one of the best songs to come out of the 70's. One Hit Wonder that never gets old.
This one made me think of another group you might enjoy - Atlanta Rhythm Section. They have a ton of great songs: So Into You, Spooky, Imaginary Lover, Champagne Jam.
Now you need to hit up Tempted by Squeeze, which is Paul Carrack's greatest vocal performance song ever, an absolute classic.
Mike and the Mechanics "Silent Running" was his swansong in my honest opinion....
One of my all-time favorites! I loved it in high school (circle 1974) and I love it now!
OMG the songs you forgot and bring you right back to a very specific time. I am time travelling right now. Big smile. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
“Lunatic Fringe” by Red Rider. Great tune from the “Vision Quest” movie soundtrack from the mid-80’s.
I will shamelessly admit, that's a great soundtrack album.
It was such a surprise to see that you listened to "How Long" and "Smoke from a Distant Fire" on the same day. It's like you read my mind. I've known both songs since they first came out and always paired them together. I suppose it's because they're both about cheating and have a more sophisticated jazz-pop feel.
This song is actually about the bass player. He was playing with another band at this time, if you can believe THAT?!?!?!
One of my favorite songs of all time!
Yes, please do "How Much I Feel" by Ambrosia.
Many others have said who the singer is, now you need to review Tempted by Squeeze, where Carrack sings lead. The song was a staple of our fraternity parties in the mid 1980's.
You've heard this voice before. Paul Carrack was the lead singer of the Mike and the Mechanics song "the Living Years."
Wasn’t he in Genesis?
@@danielkren3958 Mike Rutherford was in Genesis
This has a Philly Soul vibe. I pick up Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones".
They need to listen to "Me and Mrs. Jones". I suggested it recently and hope they'll see any other requests for it, too.
I like hearing Daryl Hall sing it, too. Daryl's "Philly Mood" is a favorite.
I wish they would give "Me and Mrs. Jones" a try.
I put them on the
"Blue - Eyed Soul" list.
A masterpiece ! Great seventies when I was 20 in 1975 !
Yes, Carrack was also the lead singer of the band "Mike and the mechanics" founded by Mike Rutherford the bassist of Genesis. Their (The Mechanics) biggest hits were "In The Living Years" and "Silent Running'. It's another amazing band! Trust!
Ya'll need to check out Ambrosia, they have great harmonies.
This is probably one of my all time favorite songs.Such a great vibe.Thanks for the reaction.Glad I grew up in the 70's.
I was fortunate to be born in the 60s and listen to FM radio of the 70s and 80s. Pure talent!
Darryl Hall and John Oats would have killed this song.
I could picture them doing it.
If you guys like this lead singer's voice, you should check out the song "Tempted" by the band Squeeze. He sings lead and it is a real ear worm of a song---in a good way!
One of my favorite songs for the past 46 years. As well as “10cc -I’m Not In Love”
Senior year in high school was a great year for music 1975
I remember hearing this on the radio in the '70s....memories, feelings.
Another vote for Tempted by Squeeze.
Great song!
The great Paul Carrack. Has written for The Eagles and currently part of Eric Clapton touring band.
Awesome 70s tune !! Smooth vibe for sure, great memories 😎
Good memories for me! This song was on the radio all the time back in my teenage years in the 70’s. 😉
Great Choice guys and so you know this song is not about a girl but its about a band mate That went to try out with another band and they found out about it and wrote this song.
On this song, it is all about the bass...even the reason why it was written.
Bass player flirting with another band
Wow… straight outta my childhood… great song!!! 🔥🔥🥰🤘
That's Paul Carrack singing lead. You loved in the "The Living Years" from Mike and the Mechanics.
paul carrack is one of the best contemporary singers of all time, he is also great songwriter.
Paul Carrack is the lead singer and the 'real deal'... great voice, musician, songwriter (for many people in the business) and has worked with great names in music. He has a big catalogue of beautiful songs: "Don't Shed A Tear", "I Need You", "Satisfy My Soul", "Dedicated" and many more... But please take a listen to "Let Me Love Again", a personal favourite, such a beautiful song!
This came out in 1974 when the Bee Gees where in a change from the original sound to their falsetto disco phase which really started 1975 with Jive Talking. So Ace came out with this sound before the Bee Gees
Check out this guy -Paul Carrack-singing with the group Squeeze- the song Tempted. Such soul- and the voice!!
One of favorite jams from that era.
I would frequently have this song in my head--I heard it on the radio when I was a kid--and could never remember the band. I was surprised to discover that Paul Carrack was the singer, who (as previously mentioned) did an album with the band Squeeze, particularly the hit song "Tempted", and he also shared vocals with Glenn Tilbrook on "Black Coffee in Bed". It's very clearly his voice. I feel like this was a one-hit wonder for Ace, but I'm not entirely sure.
I know this song…but I didn't know it was Carrack! Wow.
The singer is Paul Carrack- who sang lead on the Mike and the Mechanics the Living Years.....
This song came out in 1974 when I was 16 tears old. I love these memories.
When I think back through the decades where I grew up, it’s amazing the amount of absolutely tremendous music we had… I mean we loved her music but after living all these years and seeing what’s going forward it is the best of the best
love-Love-LOVE THIS SONG!! It’s always a crank it up and sing along song!
Paul's voice is gold sprinkled with diamonds - it has always been and will always be.
Could be that it is because I would be close to his voice if I could stick to it properly, but no matter what: There's soul that I would never be able to add no matter how much I would want to.
Early Female Friday requests
First time ever I saw your face by Roberta Flack
At last by Etta James
Orinocco flow by Enya
When ACE made this record the Bee Gees had a different sound with Robin , not Barry as lead singer at that time. Should here some early Bee Gees , Message to You, and Massachusetts. Robin had a great voice
Or my favorite "I Told A Joke".
Yeah Jordan no dance beat nothing like Staying Alive, sooooo much better. Be careful not to pigeonhole a band. You haven't heard alot of rock music in total. Plus you said you hadn't even listened to the 'Remedy' song since you first heard it. When you can sing lyrics by heart then you know some music.
@@kenharness7430 I Started A Joke. I prefer Robin's voice to Barry's. It's just so beautiful and unique
@@corihulet739 yes my bad
The Bee Gees did an acoustic version if Massachusetts on the Mike Douglas show that was outstanding. Robin has a very unique voice. I prefer their pre disco stuff.
This was one of my favorite Jams, that you Guys bought back to life! Thank you!
There is a live version of this song (same band) where the bass vamps into a Reggae style. Real cool.
J&A, Paul Carrack sang also lead on "Tempted" by the group Squeeze. "Tempted" and "Black Coffee In Bed" are two songs by Squeeze you would like. This song is from 1974, before the Bee Gees disco era. The Bee Gees did have several hits by 1974, so probably an influence to many.
Ace/Paul Carrack's "How Long" was 1974. The Bee Gees didn't start their Disco-type sound, until 1975. :)
Paul Carrack was lead singer of "Ace", then I guess went solo and sang the greatest power ballad cover of "Every time that you walk in the room"- Superb singer.
Paul Carrack, the singer on this track, is a fantastic voice who doesn’t get as much recognition as he deserves. You can find him doing lead on the Squeeze hit Tempted (among other songs), he hit bigger popularity with Mike + the Mechanics doing such songs as Silent Running, The Living Years, and Over My Shoulder. He also had a set of hits as a solo artist, including Don’t Shed A Tear, One Good Reason, I Live By The Groove, and Love Will Keep Us Alive (a song he co-wrote with that ended up getting recorded by The Eagles, but his own version appears on his solo album Blue Views.). He also did works as a session keyboard/piano player for a handful of artists, including John Hyatt, Eric Clapton, Roxy Music, Nick Lowe, and Elton John.
Phil Collins once said that Carrack had such an amazing voice that he could sing the phone book and Phil would listen.
There are "effects pedals" and processors that can seriously change the way guitars and other instruments sound. Jimi Hendrix and SRV were masters of the Wah Wah pedal. Jerry Garcia was famous for both his "Auto-Wah" sound as well as MIDI processors in the 90's that made his guitar sound like anything from a flute to a saxophone to a trumpet or anything else. Pink Floyd used a lot of Phasers and Flangers and Chorus pedals. SO. MANY. SOUNDS.!
The next songs:
How much I Feel by Ambrosia and Miracles by Jefferson Starship
One of my absolute favorites of the Yacht Rock genre. Never gets old.
I'd forgotten how good this song is... thanks for the reminder!
This song was written because their bass guitarist was stepping out with another band, and was thinking about leaving this one for the other band. Word got around and this song was written about his actions. The bassist didn't know the song was about him at this time they're making the video or singing the song.
I’ve see lots of mentions in the comments but I’m gonna add mine as well. If you like this you have to listen to the band Squeeze, and the song Tempted. The vocalist is Paul Carrack and he can flat out sing. Great soul to his voice.
Just a simple but a great song. One of my all time favorites. I have thousands of all time greats.
This is a great song! Sound of the 70s, one I grew up with! It was released in 1974.
Gotta try Ronnie Milsap "No Getting Over Me", Stranger In My House", "Lost In the 50's Tonight", "Smoky Mountain Rain", "Any Day Now", "I Wouldn't Have Missed It For the World".....
New subscriber here! Love you guys 😍
Welcome to the family
The lead singer is Paul Carrack who also sang for Mike And The Mechanics in which you reacted already to the song "Living Years".
Does my heart ❤ good that you youngsters like this song. Im 43 myself and it was even before my time even. Awesome one hit wonder
Please, check out Al Stewart, "Year Of The Cat"! It's another awesome song from the 70s...
